Gerberas are well suited to the Australian climate, particularly temperate and subtropical regions. The Asteraceae family is home to these bright and happy daisies, boasting large and brightly colored petals in shades including yellows, oranges, pinks, reds, and soft whites. There is more to the reason why those would be the favoured ones and that is not just because of the aesthetic. Gerberas are another drought-tolerant, hardy and cut flowers that work great as bouquets or for displaying in vases indoors.
